Hello, once again I hope for help. :)
I installed SuSE 6.3 on a new box this weekend (everything went fine) and my network card a 3com 3c509b was also installed, with sucess (after trying a bit. :P).. here comes the tricky part. I have a box that stands as gateway for the world, it works just fine, my windows box works fine behind it. But this new linux box isnt able to communicate with it! I have also windows installed on the new box so i tried to see if the netcard was faulty, no, windows has contact.. so I am wondering, what have i forgotten ? I have enterd a non taken internal ip, netmask and the ip for the gateway.. but still cant get any contact.. please help, its very important
What is the IP on your faulty box? and the netmask? And what is the IP for the gateway? If you for instance have 10.0.0.2 with a mask of 255.255.255.0 on one box it cannot find a route to anything not beginning with 10.0.0. So, if the gateway's IP is not within the same subnet as the IP on the other box, you'll never get anywhere. Also, what error message are you getting?
